IMPROVEMENT IN. GLOVES.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 199,738, dated January29, 1878; application filed" December 14,1877.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, S. OSCAR PARKER, of Littleton, in the county ofGrafton and State of New Hampshire, have invented a new and usefulImprovement in Gloves, of which the followingis a specification: V

Figure l is a palm view of a glove to which my improvement has beenapplied. Fig. 2 is a back view of the same. Fig. 3 is a detailcross-section of one of the fingers.

Similar letters of reference indicate corre sponding parts.

The Object of this invention is to furnish gloves which shall be soconstructed as to have no seams at the sides or front of the fingers tomake the wearer uncomfortable, and to annoy him by twisting; which willallow the stock to be cut economically, and in such a way as to allowheavy stock to be put where the most wear comes and lighter stock where1 there is less wear; which will lessen the labor the back. 0 representsthe fingers, each of which is made in one piece, with the seam runnin gup the back. The base of the fingers is sewed to the body A B, as shown.in Figs. 1 and 2.

D is the thumb, which is made and sewed in in the usual way.

The body A B and the fingers C may be made of the same kind of materialor of different kinds, as may be desired.

The size of the parts A B of the body may be so arranged that thedivision-seamsof said parts may be in line with the seams of the firstand fourth fingers, as shown in Fig. 2.

This construction economizes labor and material, and at the same timeallows the heavier parts of the stock to be used where they are mostrequired.

Having thus described my invention, I claim as new and desire to secureby Letters Patent- A glove-finger made in one piece, with its seamrunning up its back, substantially as Witnesses:
